Miracle Fruit Berry is the Latest Culinary Discovery Which Makes Sour Food Sweet

31.7.2008 - African Miracle Fruit Berry contains a harmless glycoprotein which gently binds to the tongue's taste buds, causing sour foods consumed later to taste sweet. It can also be used to prepare sugar free desserts. Miracle Fruit is finally available for sale in 4 languages and 6 currencies.

The Miracle Fruit Plant (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a plant first documented in 1725 during an excursion to its native West Africa. Local tribes picked the berry from shrubs and chewed it before meals. The berry contains an active glycoprotein called Miraculin which gently binds to the tongue's taste buds, causing bitter and sour foods (such as lemons and limes) consumed later to taste sweet. This effect lasts between ten minutes and two hours. It is not a sweetener like Aspartame (which is rumored to cause cancer). Miracle fruit is 100% natural and has no known adverse side effects. Miracle Fruit is available as fresh fruits or freeze dried extract which can be stored for a much longer period of time. Miracle Fruit berries can be chewed before eating sour fruit (grapefruit, rhubarb, lemons, strawberries and similar) or used in conjunction with special recipes to make sugar free desserts. The desserts can be made without sugar and artificial sweeteners, pure freshly squeezed natural fruit juices are more than enough to make any dessert extremely sweet. Miracle Fruit can also improve the taste after chemotherapy. MiracleFruitWorld.com was the first authorized distributor of Miracle Fruit products outside Asia.
